A table can be used to display the distribution and total of specific variables. One variable defines the values in the header row and the other variable defines the values in the header column. The intersections of rows and columns contain the results of calculations on the data, such as the sum, average, maximum, minimum, or count of the data.

A table consists of rows and columns. Rows are determined by data dimensions, such as province and product type. Columns are determined by data measures, such as order quantity and profit amount.

Note

For each table, the numbers of dimensions and measures are unlimited.

The following scenario uses the company_sales_record dataset as an example.

Scenario: Compare multiple types of products with different package designs, transportation costs, order quantities, and profit amounts across multiple provinces
